'The research undertaken for us by the Observatory has been critical for our transnational education (TNE) support programme. The report has provided an awareness of communication in the planning and delivery of TNE within higher education institutions and is facilitating the engagement of the community by emphasising the importance of good technical infrastructure for such activities. This evidence has highlighted a previously unnoticed problem for TNE and resulted in many more opportunities for us to raise the profile of Jisc’s support in this area. ', Esther Wilkinson, Business Development Lead, Transnational Education, Jisc
